I wrote a poem set in the meat rack of Fire Island and now it’s in a beautiful folio about walking, published in the latest Hopkins Review.

Tropical Sacrifice got hon. mentions in Best Poetry Book & Best Interior Design (all genres) at the International Latino Book Awards. Imo Karen Sofia Colón designed the most beautiful book. But I’m glad our weirdass abolitionist chicken bitch Brazilian af book is being recognized.

I have two poems inspired by Pabllo Vittar and Mariah Carey in the Karaoke issue of Gulf Coast 🎤
